How we're supporting you during coronavirus

In these tough times, it’s more important than ever that we support each other. Here at health.com.au, we’ve put our 1 April premium increases on hold for the next six months.

This is in line with the industry announcement from Private Health Australia, and we’re fully supportive. It’s a great initiative. It means we can focus on supporting our customers as much as possible when they need it, so we can all get through this challenging time together.

This postponement will be automatically applied to your policy, so you don’t need to do anything. If we do need anything else from you, we'll be sure to get in touch as soon as possible.

For our Customers:

As of 6pm AEST on Friday the 20th of March, our phone services have been temporarily suspended due to the impact of coronavirus. This is to protect the overall health of our workplace, our staff, their friends and family, and to make sure we’re able to continue looking after our customers throughout this uncertain period.

Although the phones will be down, we’re switching our phone teams into the digital channels, so your best option is to use the livechat function here on our website, or get us via email through our contact form. Opening hours will remain the same. We’ll be here from 8am to 6pm AEST to assist you with any questions or queries you may have. We’re still processing your claims—that’s what we’re here for—so feel free to submit those online.

For our Medical & Hospital Providers:

Please note– If an Online Eligibility Check (OEC) is flagging as Eligible Subject to conditions, you must ensure you contact the fund to clarify excess or co-payments amounts applicable, exclusions/restrictions, financial status, level of cover.
